The search for whoever sent possible explosive devices to Trump critics is focusing on Florida

George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist, was the first to receive a device in the mail earlier this week.

The following day, pipe bombs addressed to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, former attorney general Eric Holder, and Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters were found.

One turned up at CNN, addressed to former CIA director John Brennan, and another at the office of actor Robert De Niro. And then two suspicious packages addressed to former vice president Joe Biden were found at a Delaware postal facility.

People who identify as American Indian or Alaska Native are already overrepresented in the US homeless population. But it’s especially tough in Minneapolis, which is facing a citywide shortage of affordable housing, record low vacancy rates, homelessness, and housing instability.

The opioid epidemic has hit different Minnesota communities disproportionately. Native Americans in the state are six times more likely to die of an overdose than white residents — the widest race-based disparity of any US state.

Ethiopia has its first female president, and people are thrilled. The country's parliament has voted in Sahle-Work Zewde, and even though the position is considered a ceremonial one, people are excited about it. Sahle-Work is now the only woman head of state in Africa. She currently serves as the under-secretary-general of the United Nations, the third-highest rank at the organization.

The UK’s data watchdog just fined Facebook the maximum it could for the Cambridge Analytica scandal. The Information Commissioner’s Office slapped the company with a penalty of £500,000 (approximately $645,000) for failing to protect the personal information of its users. The office noted that the fine would have been “significantly higher” under the European Union’s new GDPR regulations, which allow for a fine of up to 4% of global revenues for companies who mishandle data. Facebook will have little trouble footing the fine levied: It made revenues of $13.2 billion in the last quarter.

Megyn Kelly’s show suspended live broadcasts for the rest of the week after her blackface comments. NBC decided to air reruns instead after the host defended blackface on air on Tuesday and amid reported fighting at the network over her future. A spokesperson said Kelly would not be live on air “given the circumstances,” and an NBC News source said that at a staff meeting for Megyn Kelly Today on Thursday, the news division president said that the host for Monday’s show is “TBD.”

Two people died after apparently falling off a huge cliff in Yosemite National Park. A man and a woman were found dead below Taft Point, a popular spot in the park for marriage proposals. The incident is under investigation and no further details were immediately available. The identities of the pair also had not yet been determined as park rangers worked to recover the bodies. It wouldn't be the first time someone has died while visiting the overlook, which stands at an elevation of 7,500 feet.

Caitlyn Jenner said she no longer supports Trump after the latest proposal to roll back trans rights. Jenner, a longtime Republican who came out as trans in 2015, faced pushback from the LGBT community over her support of Donald Trump's candidacy during the 2016 election. Jenner said she believed President Trump would stand up for the LGBT community, and she felt confident she could educate Republicans on issues critical to LGBT Americans. On Thursday, she wrote in the Washington Post that she was wrong. “The reality is that the trans community is being relentlessly attacked by this president,” Jenner wrote.

Google paid and protected a former exec despite knowing about sexual misconduct with an employee

Andy Rubin, the creator of Android, the world’s most popular mobile operating system, left Google in October 2014. Tech news outlet the Information reported that he left due to an inappropriate relationship, but the details were not known.

Now they are, after a New York Times report that detailed years of inappropriate behavior among Google’s executives.

In one of the allegations against Rubin, he was accused of having an extramarital affair with a junior employee, whom he was said to have later coerced into oral sex during a hotel room meeting in 2013. Google investigated that claim and found it to be valid, according to the Times.

Is A Successful Creative Life — Without Kids — Enough? What does enough mean, anyway? At what point are you — as a human being, or a project, or a story — complete? Shannon Keating wrote a poignant piece reflecting on two movies that have dissected these questions, Can You Ever Forgive Me? and Private Life, while she ponders the question of having children. From the essay: “I think it’s a normal, everyday sort of sadness that we can’t live two or more lives at once, and that applies to far more than just the prospect of kids.”

I Hated Britney Spears Until I Saw Myself In Her. Here’s a startling anniversary for you: This week, “...Baby One More Time” turned 20 years old (!!). Let’s take this opportunity to dive into the archives for an excellent piece from B. Pietras on how the artist played a pivotal role in a turbulent time. Here’s Pietras: “I hear what it sounds like to no longer need the heady rush of hatred to solidify your own sense of self; I hear, too, what it sounds like to be shaped by the fears you carry with you, but not destroyed by them. In the end, what I hear in Britney now is what I’ve always heard in her: the story I most need to tell about myself.”

TheHate U GiveAnd The Limits Of Depicting Police Brutality. A pair of movies released recently — TheHate U Give and Blindspotting — take a closer look at police brutality, and revolve around characters who are changed by it. But do they mine its subject effectively? Stephen Kearse examines why these movies have nothing to say other than police brutality is bad. Here’s Kearse: “The police overreach that’s depicted in these films can be limiting. By focusing so narrowly on bystanders affected by individual shootings, they end up having little to say about police brutality beyond it being upsetting.”
